Your good health is our top priority

Hi, I’m Bill Grimes, your host at Dawn on the Amazon Cafe, Iquitos Peru. Marmelita is my wife. We make a great team. She bakes delicious desserts, and I devour them. We also own and operate Dawn on the Amazon Tours and Cruises.

We opened Dawn on the Amazon Cafe February 2010 for four reasons.

The water in Iquitos is not fit for human consumption. I needed a restaurant in Iquitos where I could eat and not be struck down by Montezuma’s, or the Inca’s, revenge. We needed fast internet and fast wifi, which is expensive in Iquitos Peru. There was ceviche, ceviche, ceviche, everywhere but not a good cheeseburger for a 1000 miles.

On our cruises, we served gourmet meals using purified water. We washed and rinsed our fruits and vegetables in purified water three times. We saw that our techniques minimized the chance of our guests coming down with traveler’s diarrhea.

We reasoned, what if we opened a restaurant using only purified water for ice, brewed coffee, espresso, cappuccino, frappuccino, tea, soup, juices, smoothies and everything including an emphasis on proper hygiene? We would appeal to travelers and tourists who obviously don’t want to be sick on their travels or vacations. Our niche was born. Your good health is our top priority.

While I have been thinking and writing about us, sitting here at the Dawn on the Amazon Cafe, in Iquitos Peru, it is a dream come true to be enjoying a very good cheeseburger, and using our fast internet and wi-fi in Iquitos Peru.

Sincerely, Bill

Feels like at home at this Iquitos favorite!

This is the place to be to watch the world go by on the Iquitos promenade. Right on the river, you can be in the thick of the quirky scene that unfolds every night. A delicious menu that caters to vegetarians and meat lovers as well.

Cheeseburger, Super Salad, or Patarashca Fish????

Mark says the cheeseburger, I say the Supersalad but we both agree the Patarashca style fish is extra yummy... Don't forget to wash your meal down with starfruit juice. It is a real winner.

Great food, great service, great view

To get that fabulous feeling that you're in a (the most) far away Amazonian city, in the middle of the djungle go to the dawn on the Amazon, sit on the terrace facing the mighty Amazonas and sip on a pisco sour or a fresh fruit smoothie and contemplate the world, the rainforest and the human role in the midst of nature.

Amazing Smoothie List

Food here is excellent -- and it has one of the longest smoothie menus of anyplace I've ever seen! Highly recommended!

Unforgettable experience

I like it. I find Dawn on the Amazon to be the best place in Iquitos to sit and have a meal and chat. Definitely my favorite.
